I don't think we can easily change it's settings. Could we perhaps then allow a custom doc browser?

Yes, I agree, but that's my point, it _doesn't_. :o I first need to highlight the item and then right click to bring up the popup menu, when simply right-clicking (regardless of whether it was highlighted or not) it out to do, yes? > > > Most of these issues likely stem from the fact I am working at 1280 x > > 1024 on a 19" monitor. > > I run 1600 x 1280 on a 21" monitor!

It's rumoured that Mark A. Taff once said: > Could we perhaps then allow a custom doc browser?

What real benefit would you get other than the font size in the dialogue? >> That is the intended behaviour.

Ahh, I see. Sorry, I misunderstood what you said. >> > Most of these issues likely stem from the fact I am working at 1280 >> > x 1024 on a 19" monitor. >> >> I run 1600 x 1280 on a 21" monitor! > > HmmmAm I being a wimp? Maybe I should increase my resolution:) Well, 1280x1024 is a bit low. I used to run that on my XT ;-) > FYI, I am using wxGTK(Windows) version 2.4. I'll have to compile my > own if I want 2.5. Ahh, there's 90% of your problems then. wx2.5 has vastly improved sizing code in it. I would seriously consider taking a look - you will find our patched snapshot of wxWindows on our ftp servers. Installation instructions are in unix_compilation.html in the pgAdmin docs. Regards, Dave. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Either that or allow alternate doc viewers. I paid for this large monitor and video card so I could have more screen real estate, and it kind of defeats the purpose to have such huge (relatively) font sizes used. > > >Generally speaking, all controls on all dialog boxes are too small, and > > fonts are too big, thus rendering it very difficult to guess what the > > control is for, or in some cases, making it impossible to use a control > > at all. > > Shouldn't be, sounds like you use a version with wxWindows 2.4.

MS Access 2000 handles this by autofitting to the width of widest *currently viewable* column data.
